The statement "int *ptr = new int;" allocates memory to hold an integer and assigns the address of the allocated memory to the pointer variable ptr. Therefore, choice C is correct. The other choices are incorrect because the statement does not initialize the allocated memory to 0, assign an integer value to the variable called ptr, create a new pointer called int or any variable with the name int.
